Scheduled Monuments

The Schedule of Ancient Monuments is compiled and maintained by the Secretary of State under Section 1 of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. The fact that a monument has been scheduled means that it has been recognised as being of national importance. The primary purpose of scheduling a monument is to preserve it for the future, and to protect it from damage, destruction or any unnecessary interference.

Detailed information for all listed buildings and scheduled monuments can be viewed on the Historic England website by searching the National Heritage List for England. The Heritage List is the only official and up to date database of all nationally protected historic buildings and sites in England.
